Re: Speed Ramping with Deadzone

i am just curious if you have ever calibrated your speed controllers? This typically decreases the dead zone.

Instructions to calibrate victor 884: connect to your robot via tether turn your machine on. With a paper clip push in the inset cal button on the speed controller till the light blinks red. Then move your joystick back and forth (covering the full range of motion) until the light blinks green. Do this with all your speed controllers and it will help reduce the dead zone of the joysticks.
